Chapter Seventy-Nine: Talent
On the second day, the sky was bright, and the people of Zhongzheng and the first line entered the Forbidden City again under the leadership of Mr. Shi, this time they did not stop in front of the main hall but directly entered the Taihe Hall to wait, and after a while, Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne, and the ministers also rushed in, and another day of morning came.
The ministers discussed the current situation, but no one dared to mention the matter of moving south, Yu Qian said in the foreword: "After the victory of Warat at Tumubao, our country's strength is empty, and we will besiege our capital in the future." One of the ministers stepped out and said, "Lord Yu, I don't think this matter is very likely, if it is to besiege the capital, why don't Warat take advantage of our new defeat to launch an attack but wait for the future to act?" I think I must have plundered the surrounding area first, and then I will go back to his hometown of Navarat. When the ministers heard this, they all agreed, and felt that what he said made sense.
"Birds!" Qin Rufeng suddenly walked out and shouted, not so much that the ministers were afraid of Yu Qian or Zhongzheng Yixin, but that it was appropriate to say that they were afraid of Qin Rufeng. Qin Rufeng has no political power, and the second has no military power, why are the ministers so afraid, it is because of Qin Rufeng's murderous aura, every time he sees Qin Rufeng's ministers, it is like seeing the king of Hades, and some of the timid even tremble.
After Qin Rufeng finished scolding, he had some opinions: "You are stupid to read, after the battle of Tumubao, you should not know that our country's strength is so empty, and the elite troops of the whole country are exhausted, so naturally you will not come to the cold." Secondly, if the siege of the capital must be the strength of the country, the cavalry can still rush, the mountain roads and ravines can be crossed under the iron hooves, but the baggage and other things must not be, and a regular marching route must be chosen. But I Datong, Xuanfu, and Juyong Pass are still holding on, once I choose this way to attack the capital, it will be a protracted war, and the grain and grass of the first will not last at that time, so he will definitely choose to find another way to capture other passes, I estimate that the possibility of Bauhinia Pass is greater. If you are smart first, you must launch an attack now, but I think that Wara's arrogant nature will make him try to attack Datong and Xuanfu first, so it is best to send more troops to the two places now and give the order to defend to the death. ”
The ministers nodded their heads when they heard Qin Rufeng's remarks, thinking that this fierce person also had some skills. Someone said: "Dare to ask the strong man, since you predict that you will attack Bauhinia Pass first, then why don't you send more troops to Juyong Pass and Zijing Pass." Qin Rufeng saw that the man was wearing the clothes of the military department, and said with a grin on the corner of his mouth: "You said that it would be okay if other civil officials raised this question, you are the military department attendant and even raised such a pedantic question, Lord Yu, you are also a military department attendant and so on, I am ashamed of you." Yu Qian smiled slightly, but he was not angry, he seemed to have some understanding of Qin Rufeng's straightforward character.
Yu Qian paused and replied: "Juyong Pass, Bauhinia Pass is only for the pass, and it cannot be kept forever." Even if it is held, it will not have a great role for Datong and Xuanfu. Once the capital is also besieged first, Datong Xuanfu can be attacked and defended, and the timing is right, and the capital can complement each other to surround the Wara thieves. Moreover, in the two places of Datong Xuanfu, there are two famous generals, Guo Deng and Yang Hong, who have good command and command, so what Brother Qin said is excellent, and I hope His Royal Highness will allow it. ”
Zhu Qiyu was a little dumbfounded when he heard the discussion downward, his brain was spinning and thinking about everything, and before he could understand what he heard Yu Qian's words, he said: "Accurate, accurate." ”
Yu Qian ordered: "Order Datong and Xuantong to defend the direction, there must be no mistakes, and those who lose will be killed!" This is the first order given by Yu Qian after taking over the military department. Qin Rufeng was a little anxious and asked, "Why did you give the order and not send reinforcements?" Is it true that I have no usable soldiers? ”
Yu Qian nodded with difficulty and replied: "Exactly, the existing troops in the capital are less than 100,000, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, but there are no soldiers available!" The ministers were in an uproar, and some even burst into tears.
"From now on, order the two capitals and Henan to prepare the army, the coastal area of Nanjing, Shandong to prepare the Japanese army, the Jiangbei Beijing Prefecture to transport the grain army, recruit the southern general Chen Mao to return to Beijing, and immediately return to Beijing after receiving the military order, if there is a delay in disobeying the military order, it will be beheaded!" Yu Qian issued the second military order.
"The food and salaries of the soldiers in the capital are not enough to supply the army." A household official stood up and said. Yu Qian said: "Isn't there food in Tongzhou? The household official replied: "That's right, Tongzhou warehouse rice is millions, but once the grain is transported out of Tongzhou, it is inevitable that the army will intercept it first, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. We still think of other ways, and it is the best policy to burn down the granary of Tongzhou for the time being, and once we also break through Tongzhou first, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
The ministers echoed again, but Qu Xiangtian pondered slightly, and then walked out and said: "I have a law that I don't know whether to talk about or not." Zhu Qiyu nodded, he admired this heroic man very much, so he said, "Strong man, please speak." ”
Qu Xiangtian replied: "Since Your Highness has recruited troops into Beijing, why not let all the soldiers make a detour through Tongzhou, and take grain into Beijing by the way when passing through Tongzhou, so that there is no need to hire people to transport grain, nor do you need to send troops to protect food, I don't know what Your Highness thinks of this plan?" ”
If Zhu Qiyu still doesn't know much about the national military and political affairs, Zhu Qiyu understands this strategy, and the ministers have no choice but to be of great use to the people of the Zhongzheng lineage, so Zhu Qiyu did not pass the mouth of the eunuch Jin Ying but said in person: "The Ming Dynasty has the help of all the talents in the Zhongzheng lineage, which is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for the people, this plan is accurate!" From now on, Qu Xiangtian and Qin Rufeng joined the military department, assisted Yu Qian in training soldiers, studied the formation of breaking the enemy, and gave a bounty of one hundred taels and two grades. ”
Qu Xiangtian and Qin Rufeng came out of the ranks, hugged their fists and thanked them, Yu Qian was also very happy, because he had long seen that Qu Xiangtian and Qin Rufeng were not things in the pool, and the chances of winning with these two people to help break the tile were a step higher, but they were suffering from their limited authority and could not attach power, and now Zhu Qiyu has solved his worries as soon as he is the prisoner of the country, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow.
The ministers began to discuss other things, and the people of Zhongzheng and the first line of the sect also congratulated Qu Qin and the others, Mr. Shi did not say a word, but the apprentice was so outstanding, and he was also overjoyed, and then reflexively said to Lu Yunzhi Han Yueqiu and others behind him: "Qu Xiang Tianqin is like a first-class strategy in the art of war, we also have to do our part for the people, after returning to the house, the master will teach the Ten Thousand Ghosts Exorcism Array, the disciples must step up their study in order to win by surprise, and then the Mongolian ghosts and witches will be helpless even if they are united." ”
All the disciples replied yes one after another, Lu Yun's heart shook, and suddenly his eyes were full of light, and he understood in his heart that business was not as good as Fang Qingze, the art of war was not as good as Qu Qin, and it was not as good as Zhu Jianwen Gao Huai to get power and govern, but when it came to metaphysics, he was full of confidence, the hatred of the family being ruined, and the hatred of being killed in the same vein gathered in Lu Yunzhi's heart at this moment.
